I used a NBUS die for this card. The tree is new to me, and I've die-cut it in white and sponged on two shades of brown DOX inks. I also sponged two shades of blue DOX inks for the sky and then splattered with water and blotted to create the look of a snowy sky (ghosting).
The tree was die-cut a second time in turquoise glitter paper. The ornaments were cut from the glitter tree and glued on top of the brown tree. Simple, but fiddly work. :)
A simple stitched snowdrift die-cut was added to the bottom and stamped with the sentiment in matching brown ink.
Glitter is always fun to use, especially on holiday cards.

what a fun and festive tree die with the baubles hanging off the branches Loll! Having them in the turquoise glitter paper is perfect against the brown branches and the stitched landscape grounds the tree nicely! Glitter IS great for winter cards and I don't often think to use it! Julia xx

You sure made that tree sparkle and shine with the glittery ornaments. Lovely holiday card, Loll!
Adorable card. Great sentiment and beautiful glitter ornaments. I can see why they would be fiddle. Love this month’s challenge too.
What a pretty ornamented tree Loll, and wow, what a gorgeous blue sky and love the ghosting. The glitter paper baubles may have been a lot of work but well worth it as they look perfect. x
